Here is a great interview. Adrian Pasdar, who plays Nathan Petrelli, interviews on his work on Heroes. I love this guy. He is a great actor...one of the best on the show. I don't really like the way they are writing him out of the show, but he played it with class.

There was a post I reported on last week that talked about how silly some Marvel stories truly are. Today, Comics Alliance posed a follow-up showing the funniest responses from readers who sent their own examples of sliily moments and plots from the marvel universe. This one is my favorite:

Laura Hudson: In the core Marvel U, a 120-yr old, 5'2, 300 lb Canadian samurai regenerated his entire body from a single drop of blood.

and

The Crazed Spruce: Many of the planet's most prominent citizens were transported to another dimension which existed within a child's toy ball.

When people get married they often try to do things to celebrate and be uniquely original. Here is an example of a couple who are using this wedding invitation. Genius!

"And special thanks to Mr. Andy Bong who is the only person we know who can take the vague request 'Can you make us a comic with Kanye West, Star Wars and maybe some laser blasting... oh and its a wedding invite so can it be adorable and sweet too?' and turn it into something that has been blogged (offbeatbride.com rocks!), Tweeted about, and is currently alleged to be circulating in a chain email (Really? Someone send it to us!). We wanted it to be funny and show how much in love we are(and what dorks we are too, oops!) Well done, sir!"

BITCH SLAP is a post-modern, thinking mans throwback to the B Movie/Exploitation films of the 1950s - 70s as well as a loving, sly parody of the same. Inspired by the likes of Dragstrip Girl;, Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill; Kung Fu Nun and the pantheon of Blaxploitation films, BITCH SLAP will mix girls, guns, outrageous action and jaw-dropping visuals with a message dont be naughty! At its core, BITCH SLAP follows three bad girls (a down-and-out stripper, a drug-running killer and a corporate powerbroker) as they arrive at a remote desert hideaway to extort and steal $200 Million in diamonds from a ruthless underworld kingpin. Things quickly spin out of control as allegiances change, truths are revealed, other criminals arrive for the score, the fate of the world hangs in the balance and they are forced to confront a villain much worse than they ever expected themselves. Its the ultimate morality tale as, one by one, they realize the whole she-bang was a set-up and one of them may not even be human What also makes BITCH SLAP different is a complicated B story device that runs throughout the film to illuminate character, backstory and relationship histories not previously revealed. Like the film Memento, these scene flashbacks take place in reverse, so by the end of the film, you have a wholly different take on who these women are and why they are behaving so badly. Bet you never saw THAT in Jailbait Babysitter!

Here is a very funny skit based on the idea that vampire lore has changed quite a bit and is not consistent looking at True Blood, Twilight, Buffy, Angel, Dracula, and others. What would happen if they met up? This video attempts to answer that!

Okay, I just saw episode 3 of "Gifted" and I am in shock. Wolverine and Beast really ripped it up in a fight because Beast is contemplating....um...let's just say Wolverine disagrees. I didn't read the original print comic book so I'm watching the story unfold. IT is awesome. I can't wait to find out what Beast discovered about the "cure",

Well we now know what Jonathan Hickman's secret project for Marvel Comics is, reveled last night on G4TV's Attack of the Show. Here is what was written at ComicAlliance:

As promised, Butler revealed the new series by Hickman and artist Dustin Weaver is called "Shield" and will reveal the secret history of - that's right, S.H.I.E.L.D. (I like the acronymless title better already for my own selfish typing reasons):

"Beginning in ancient Egypt and running through the 1950s, the series will reveal how some of the greatest icons in history protected the Earth from threats like Galactus and the Celestials."

Butler added that the series reveals would impact not only Marvel's past, but also its future, which may be welcome as Nick Fury seems pretty stressed out of late in "Secret Warriors."
